7 SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2 Supplied software The Macro Key Manager is special application software for your new graphics tablet. It is used to program frequently used key combinations (e.g. copy = <Ctrl>+<C>) or hyperlinks to so-called macro keys and save these as a macro key profile. Free Notes / Office Ink is a tool for making sketches or notes by hand on your computer either in the same way as on a sheet of paper (Free Notes) or directly on the open screen (Office Ink). You can switch interactively between both applications. Power Presenter RE II is a program for editing presentations. CorelDRAW Essentials OEM is a powerful software package for creating illustrations, page layouts and editing photos. It is based on the basic functions of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. Licence terms licence agreement The licence terms of software explain the ways in which you are entitled to use the software. This already touches on a significant difference in the viewpoint of the customer/user and the manufacturer. While the customer/user thinks he has bought the software and thus owns it, the manufacturer of the software only sells/offers its customers a restricted right of use under specific circumstances. Ordinarily the software may only be used in conjunction with the purchased system. In addition, use may be restricted for commercial use. Under certain circumstances the software may not be used to control machines or for the development of weapons. The terms also contain restrictions with respect to the liability of the manufacturer. If you do not fully agree with the licence agreement, then according to the manufacturer you are not entitled to use the respective software. Under certain circumstances individual clauses in the licence agreement may be questionable from a legal standpoint. This may mean that these are invalid and are then no longer binding for you. If you do not agree to the licence agreement, you may be entitled to return the software. Please note that this right to return the software concerns the manufacturer of the software, not the manufacturer of the hardware. In this case you should contact the manufacturer of the software to exercise your right to return the software. Since your system was sold at a package price, a price evaluation of individual components and software components is not a part of the offer. Comparison prices are therefore intentionally not specifiable and for this reason the difference can also not be reimbursed. English - 5

New devices may emit a slight odour during the first few hours of operation. This is normal and disappears after a short time. Until then ventilate the room regularly. EMC and safety precautions In the event of any modification to the device that was not approved by the manufacturer, compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed. To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), please pay attention to the instructions in the manual.

25 SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2 Configuration Programming macro keys You can assign a program start command (e.g."save file") or a key combination (hotkey) to a macro key (K1 to K26). If you then click on a programmed macro key with the pen, this command is executed. The macro key commands are managed in so-called profiles. In the featured default profiles (XP/2000, Vista, Windows 7, Photoshop Elements, PhotoImpact XL SE, Corel Draw), the macro keys are sometimes assigned standard commands which cannot be changed. All other macro keys can be defined and edited. If the default profiles do not meet your requirements, you can create your own profiles. Proceed as follows to program macro keys: 1. Double-click the "Macro Key Manager" icon in the system tray of the Windows taskbar. The "Macro Key Manager" is then opened. The following example describes how to use this program. 2. Select a profile from the drop down list at the top left (shown here with the entry "Windows 7"). Click the [New] button to create a new profile. Click the [Delete] button to remove the profile shown in the drop down list if you no longer need it. We will now create a new profile for the "Free Notes" program. English - 23

26 SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2 3. Proceed as follows: Click the [New] button. The "New" dialogue box is opened (see below). Enter the name of the profile under "File name".

Click the [...] button and in the selection dialogue box which then opens select the "HW .exe" file (this is the executable file of the "Free Notes" program). You can also create profiles for any program in this manner. Close the selection dialogue box by clicking [OK]. The "New" dialogue box should look as shown in the example below: Close the dialogue box by clicking [OK]. The new profile "Free Notes" which you created in step 3 then appears in the drop down list at the top of the "Macro Key Manager". 4. In the drop down list below (shown here with the entry "K1"), select the macro key to which you want to assign a command in the selected profile (in this case "Free Notes"). 5. To activate the other input fields, tick the "Setting" box. Otherwise the input fields are inactive (grey). 6. You can then assign a so-called "hotkey" or a "link" to the macro key K English

27 SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2 A "hotkey" is a key combination defined by the program or operating system which executes a certain function. In Windows programs, for example, you can use the key combination <Ctrl>+<c> to copy the currently selected object (text, graphic, circle, line etc.) onto the clipboard and then paste this object to the current cursor position with the key combination <Ctrl>+<v>. A "link" is a reference to an executable file. This link therefore also starts a program. If you click the [...] button, a dialogue box is opened in which you can select the required program. The following section describes how to assign a hotkey, in this case the function <Ctrl>+<P> (print) to the macro key K1. 7. Proceed as follows: Activate the "Use hotkey" radio button. Tick the box in front of "Ctrl" and select "P" in the drop down list. In the "Hint" box enter the word "Print". This text is displayed when the "Free Notes" profile is active and when you position the cursor on the macro key K1 in the preview area of the "Macro Key Manager".... when you position the pen on the macro key K1 when you are working with the graphics tablet. Click the [Confirm] button (save). You can then program more macro keys either in the same profile or in a different profile which you can select in the top left drop down list. It is only important that you click [Confirm] when you have specified the command. English - 25

28 SilverCrest graphics tablet SGT 10.6 A2 8. You then only have to activate the profile. Tick the "Activate this profile" box. Only one profile can be activated at one time. Functions which you have defined in a "disabled" profile are not executed. Therefore only the assigned functions of the macro keys of the activated profile are available. Note: The functions of hotkeys and links are only available if the software belonging to the selected profile is active. 9. If you do not want to change any more settings, click [OK] and confirm the subsequent query asking if you want to save your settings with [OK] English
